The developed area should be located and designed to promote efficient use of the existing infrastructure (roads, utilities, etc.) and coordinate with development on adjacent parcels. The design shall be subject to the review and approval of the Planning Board and the Pinelands Commission.

| |||||||
[a] Minimum lot width: 150 feet.
